Attendance for Saturday

[NorthumberlandBoro]

MFC are working hard to get the Riverside capacity back below 30k.
Down from a historic 34.5k to below 31k odd last season.
It'll be a push, but it's doable.

Make the seats bigger, more room, less seats.

More comfortable and better for atmosphere.

Why do you say that N Boro?

 

[Redwurzel]

I think he's being ironic.

 

[Blf]

There will be precisely 26,345.

They seem keen to have the biggest gaps possible around away fans.
Most clubs strive to get as many fans in as possible. We seem to go the other way.
We had 'capacities' of a 31k or so last season. At least 2k empty seats.

There must still be over 34,000 seats still there, but you’re right the club do a big segregation. Twos reasons for this, even with the massive segregation, there’s still people looking to cause agro so why have them any closer. Secondly, look at any game pictures of the stadium taken between southgates relegation and the away fans being moved, in the whole the stadium looks much more full than it did when away fans were in the south stand. This move also significantly improved the atmosphere.

If the likes of Sours v Arsenal can manage minimal segregation ( and I mean barely visible), and many other high profile games, why can't we?
Where there's a will.

But why would you fit a game like Saturday? If all other areas were sold I’d get it, but it just thins the crowd out elsewhere and incites the additional stewarding costs

 

[Nosmo-King]

Be interesting to see the number of seats left vacant for the game with the Mackems!

 

[Redwurzel]

My guess is same as usual.

Remember also we need more space because of our two heads.

 

[Boro4life]

Westbrom can't be bringing many as we keep opening blocks from the away end

 

[BoroFur]

Driving up from Bristol on Saturday morning (down here for work). Not too worried about lack of attacking options as I think we're really solid everywhere else.

No, really just talking about big games .
Don't worry, it's just an irk with me.

I know but the thread is titled 'Attendance for Saturday'.

OK. In that case the correct answer is:

"It's impossible to tell without knowing how many season ticket holders whose numbers are included in the official figure are not physically present due to holidays or other commitments".

I want it to be as full as possible mate
